1) The video introduces contraceptive measures as a solution to issues caused by high population growth rates in Caraga Region of the Philippines, specifically high teenage pregnancy rates. 2) It interviews a teacher and student who both express support for contraceptive use to prevent teenage pregnancy and explains common barrier and hormonal contraceptive methods. 3) The video argues that educating teens about contraceptives and empowering individuals and communities can help address overpopulation issues in a humane way through enabling voluntary family planning.

An environment is a system of living things. /The earth is our environment. /The capacity of our environment provides
space to produce food and to supply energy/is all limited. Humans thrives less than 17% of the earth’s surface /and only
about 4% we grow crops ./ We depend on these limited resources for our survival/ yet we were increasing our
population as if they were infinite. (40 sec.)
As of January 2015,the world’s population was estimated to be 7, 266 ,171, 118.
In our country, the projected population has reached for over 101.6 million this year. / This makes us in 12th
rank in the
list of the countries by population.
And in Caraga Region/ it is estimated that the population is more or less 2,799,600 as of2010. /It is said that Caraga
Region is one of the most populated regions in the Philippines. / It also topped 1 of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy
in the country.
Most developing nations have large number of people who are illiterate, live below the poverty line and have little or no
knowledge about family planning. Getting their children married at an early age increase the chances of producing more
kids. Those people are unable to understand the harmful effects of overpopulation and lack of ignorance prompts them to
avoid family planning measures.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE SOLUTIONFOR THIS?
CONTRACEPTIVES?
YES!
Using contraceptives during sexual intercourse can prevent teenage pregnancy. Whether using barrier or hormonal
methods, contraception can help to avoid pregnancy.
Barrier Methods are designed to prevent sperm from entering the uterus and may be an option for women who cannot
use hormonal methods of contraception. Types of barrier methods include:
 Male condoms. This condom is a thin sheath that covers the penis to collect sperm and prevent it from entering
the woman's body.
 Female condoms. These are thin, flexible plastic pouches. A portion of the condom is inserted into a woman's
vagina before intercourse to prevent sperm from entering the uterus.

2.  Diaphragms. A shallow, flexible cup made of latex or soft rubber that is inserted into the vagina before
intercourse, blocking sperm from entering the uterus.
 Cervical caps. These are similar to diaphragms, but smaller, more rigid, and less noticeable. The cervical cap is a
thin silicone cup that is inserted into the vagina before intercourse to block sperm from entering the uterus.
Hormonal Methods
Hormonal methods of birth control use hormones to regulate or stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy. Ovulation is the
biological process in which the ovary releases an egg, making it available for fertilization. Types of hormonal methods
include:
 Combined oral contraceptives("the pill"). It contains different combinations of the synthetic estrogens and
progestins and are given to interfere with ovulation.
 Progestin-only pills (POPs). It thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to swim into the uterus or
to enter the fallopian tube.
Intrauterine Methods
An IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. A health care provider inserts the
device. An IUD can remain and function effectively for many years at a time. After the recommended length of time, or
when the woman no longer needs or desires contraception, a health care provider removes or replaces the device.
Educating teens about contraceptive methods may help to change attitudes and behaviors toward safer sex practices.
INTERVIEW
T- Are you in favor of contraceptive measures? Why?
S- What do you think why most of the couples use contraceptive measures during intercourse?
Serious consequences are at stake and ways of preventing over-population should be a high priority. Over-
population and continuing population growth are making substantial contributions to the destruction of Earth's life
support systems. Contraceptive aren’t only the solution for this problem. Action plans and strategies can be developed to
increase public understanding of how rapid population growth limits chances for meeting basic needs.
The spirit of open communication and empowerment of individual women and men will be a key to successfulsolution to
many population problems. Collective vision about health care,family planning and women's education at the community
level build a basis for action. Free and equal access to health care,family planning and education are desirable in their
own right and will also help reduce unwanted fertility.
Teachers,parents,other educators,politicians and other concerned citizens can practice how to make good decisions in
everyday life. Decisions about family size and resource will affect the future generations. Through community forums,
specific issues about the population growth can be discussed and possible action plans can be developed.
All humanity has a choice. We can either solve overpopulation humanely – by inspiring all families to voluntarily choose
zero, one or two children – or we can allow more famines, disease (Ebola), misery, suffering and an explosion of early
deaths to solve it inhumanely.
Simply put, that’s the choice. And it’s our choice. Let’s choose the humane course now. Overpopulation can be solve!
One child families can save humanity!
